Just got my npvr system going and what a nice thing it is.
A couple of things I thought might be candidates for the wishlist....
- One for fat fingered numbnuts like myself..... when you are watching tv from the buffer (ie you are in 'live tv' and have wound it back a bit) it would be nice if there was an 'Are you sure?' style popup when you try to change channels. At present npvr will obediently change channels without hesitation and the buffer is in the bit bucket. Doh!
- Still on the subject of the live tv buffer.... would it be a good idea to have a small housekeeping function in npvr where it cleared out the buffer directory? It works perfectly as is but when npvr is running with other applications on a htpc, depending on your implementation, if you exit 'live tv' in a less than graceful fashion to run another app then the live tv buffer directory starts to fill with junk.
- A concatenated recording directory would be great. I have a nas that's not always up. It would be very nice if I could specify a directory on my nas ahead of a local directory. If the nas is up use that, otherwise use the local directory. For some folks the other way around could be good... eg if less than x% remains on my local drive use the network drive?
